Mt Goliath Natural Area

Summit County - Eagle County - Clear Creek County

The Mt Goliath Natural Area protects the largest, northernmost stand of Bristlecone Pine trees in North America, with trees ranging 1600 - 2500 years old. While bristlecone pines highlight this area, it also supports micro-climates with plants found nowhere else below the Arctic Circle - one would have to travel 3000 miles north to see the same plant communities.
